I ordered Lily Pulitzer fabric from Etsy for the dresses. I found some wood grain fabric for the dress forms. I cut out the 16 dresses and the 16 dress forms and using Appli-Kay Wonder from Floriana, I ironed on the dresses and forms onto white fabric. After they were ironed on I used the blanket stitch on the sewing machine to finish the applique edges.
The pattern called for the white blocks to have four different fabrics bordering each of the blocks. I decided that this would make the quilt too busy, so I decided to use only one fabric to border each block.
I used the same fabrics that my daughter used to make her crib skirt, to border and back the quilt.
I imitated the swirl pattern in the white background fabric when I free motion quilted the quilt.
Here is the finished quilt!

Very sweet. The quilting is perfect for this too!
Very cute! It's almost like a modern sunbonnet sue quilt.
